| Unguided | Hello All. Newb question: Mythbuntu is the ever attempt at installing linux of any sort. I bought a newbie book but all the screens are different. I think it has to do with xfce desktop. If I install ubuntu then add myth to it will that give me the "regular" screens and will it make it easier for me to manage and learn? | 02:47 |

| mrand | !ask | 18:47 |
| Zinn | Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. | 18:47 |
| mrand | wow. | 18:47 |
| Aliv3 | hey everyone which capture card to use?? cant find one that looks like its right | 19:25 |
| dekarl | Aliv3: more general questions like this is better put to #mythtv-users (sorry for pointing back and forth) | 19:28 |
| dekarl | !tuners | 19:28 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about tuners | 19:28 |
| dekarl | hmm, try !tuners over there ;) | 19:28 |
| Aliv3 | Analog, MJpeg ( refers to my webcam ) , H264 Encoder Card (HD-PVR) (looks sorta right but says failed to open), DVB DTV tuners (no DVB device numbers) thats all | 19:29 |
| Aliv3 | I have ati | 19:30 |
| dekarl | so you already have mythtv installed on a box with all of these devices? | 19:30 |
| Aliv3 | yes | 19:31 |
| dekarl | (20:30:21) MythLogBot: tuners: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Device_Information | 19:32 |
| Zinn | [www.linuxtv.org] Hardware Device Information - LinuxTVWiki | 19:32 |
| dekarl | lets see, DVB but no device nodes in /dev/dvb/* ? | 19:33 |
| Aliv3 | Yeah I think mine would be something analog because its a ati tuner card desktop 4xxx series | 19:34 |
| dekarl | hdpvr, does the user account have access to the /dev/video* node? | 19:35 |
| dekarl | what is an ATI tuner card? Do you mean old skool video capture stuff on a graphics card? | 19:35 |
| Aliv3 | yea the Analog (Analog 4VL Capture Card (I ment)) is seeing /dev/video0 | 19:37 |
| dekarl | hdpvr goes to /dev/videoX, too (at least the wiki says so) | 19:38 |
| Aliv3 | Ok I think I found the card I needed it is /dev/ati/card0 but the probbed info and other details are messed up, how do I found out what I need? | 19:39 |
| dekarl | hmm, sounds like a good question for #linuxtv, your best bet is likely #mythtv-users (with -users) | 19:40 |
| Aliv3 | Can I see an example of what something else would look like under analog or what? | 19:40 |
| Aliv3 | k thanks | 19:40 |
| dekarl | it depends in the kind of analog device, see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Video_capture_card | 19:41 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Video capture card - MythTV Official Wiki | 19:41 |
| dekarl | but analog tv is outside of my area of knowledge. | 19:41 |
